Here is a new one I got today. From July 1933. I think it is very cool. Never seen them on a ribbon. What do you all think?
Thanks,
Terry

Dear Terry

Interesting.

I know this badge per se, although in a more traditional form and I have attached an obverse image.

What is the size of the badge you have shown?

A side by side comparison shows a startling difference in the quality.

Hi David,
Please remember that the camera I am using doesn't take clear pictures. Size approx. 35mm across at bottom and from center bottom to pointed top 42mm. Looks way better in person. It accually looks like it was silver plated.

Gentlemen and Ladies,

I got brave and took the tinnie off of the ribbon, look what I found. It IS lead!! Good call everyone! I believe I will be returning it tomorrow. It is just unbelievable that they are faking this badge. Oh well.
Thanks all,
Terry
